About this map

The Brazos River carves a deep, winding path through this North Texas landscape, defining the jagged border shared by Parker and Hood counties during the mid-1920s. This survey, conducted by R.H. Reineck and his team for the Board of Water Engineers, captures a transition in rural infrastructure as a Gas Pipe Line begins to cut across the terrain.

Social centers are anchored by a series of country schools, including Walker School, Fairview School, and Robertson Creek School, which served the scattered farmsteads along the river's many tributaries. Significant elevation changes are marked by prominent landmarks like Nebo Mtn and Center Mtn, while the Hightower Bridge provides a vital crossing point over the Brazos. The map detail highlights the complex drainage system of branches and creeks, such as Cidwell Branch and Mathews Branch, that feed into the river basin.
